"I'm excited about it," she told IGN. "Like any good piece of work, the challenge is also going to be what makes it so great. It's a crime drama centred around the 1960s Playboy clubs of Chicago, so there's a lot going on."

Heard also confirmed that the pilot, which recently began filming, will explore themes of social change in '60s America.

"It's early '60s, but it's on the eve of women's lib," she explained. "It's on the eve of this rights revolution [and] the sexual revolution. There's so much to be told [and] the texture is so rich."

She continued: "I anticipate that [depth] being what makes the show so good, but it's also going to be the most difficult part of it, tying in all those elements."
